In this episode, I dive into the research behind an intriguing combo: high-intensity progressive resistance training paired with self-talk. The featured study explores how these two strategies affect muscle strength and functional performance in older adults—and the results are worth paying attention to. I break down what the study found, how self-talk influenced outcomes, and what it all means for designing effective, evidence-based training programs for aging populations. Whether you’re a c...

Will squatting past parallel increase muscle size more than squatting to 90 degrees? Relationship between hypertrophy (increase in muscle size) and range of motion.
You've been in the gym where the person next to you is completing half reps of a bicep curl or squat and you wonder, is that helping or hurting? First and fore-most I typically recommend working through a full and available range of motion for every movement. Personally I want to be strong through the entire range, regardless of how little or large of that range I'm using. However, when it comes to hypertrophy, or increase in muscle size, is there an optimal range of motion for each muscle gr...
